Then I came across this clay mask recipe using Bentonite clay and I thought these two would go so well together! So I whipped up some mask and got ready for a mini-spa treatment. Fun stuff- except the mask kinda burned my skin, so beware. It's supposed to "tingle" or so it says on the bottle of clay I have.

It's been another big week of change. Which can be scary, but also good.

I turned 31, had fun celebrating with my family, and made some major health decisions. After visiting my doc and finding out that I may have Adenomyosis in addition to Endometriosis, I'm pretty sure that hystorectomy is my best option. I need to be healthy. I need to be able to do normal things-like sign my kid up for soccer. I have never been able to make that kind of commitment with my health problems. They have ruled my life. It's time to change that.

I never imagined having a hystorectomy at such a young age. I never imagined that I would have just one shot at bearing a child of my own. That I would only experience one pregnancy and one birth. I will cherish that experience forever. Morning sickness and all! While I can't begin to describe the heartache that comes with the loss of fertility, I am certain that this is the way it is supposed to be.

This is definitely my favorite time of year. And not because my husband is starting his new job today and we just signed a contract to build a new home (although those are VERY good reasons to like something!)

Spring fills me with hope and optimism. I love seeing things grow. I am thrilled to be out in the sun again!
